It has a strong place in PyObjC, where we're putting our natural
inclination for multi-layered namespaces aside to fit in with the
conventions of ObjC's single namespace. At least there (in PyObjC's
context), it's a natural fit, and I'd much rather it continue to be
presented as the convention.
I know you said "virtually", but given the fact this is the pythonmac
mailing list, and PyObjC plays (at least for me) a very big part of
the Python on Mac landscape, I'd hate to see a ban on what is
arguably a harmless (and very timesaving!) use of "from x import *".
